Wanting to know what is out there! Looking to trade up from our boat now.

What exactly are you looking for? What Motor, drive, interior specs & budget are best ?

I know. I have been looking for 2-3 years as well. I may just quit looking and enjoy what we have. That would be my wife's preference.
 
Also I have a 1990 240 for sale lol if I can find a new boat! 🤙🏻
 
I really wanna find a clean one with Merc 525-600hp

The only 525 24 I know of is 2FF's old one. Guy wants 75k for it. Needs a fiberglass swim step. He put a teak step on it. Doesn't fit the boat.

That’s the only one I’ve ever seen. Surprised there aren’t more with bigger Merc power.

75 is steep but that’s my favorite 240. Did the tower get removed?
 
I may end up selling our 240 OB. I just have too much money in it to enjoy it. It won’t be cheep though 98’ 525SC Dart heads with < 15 hrs on the prop, bravo1, gamble housing, engine, carb and blower. Showroom new interior. If I let it go, I won’t be giving it away. Also fresh powder coat on the trailer and new 4 wheel drum brakes actuator—> shoes, even the break lines are new.

Yeah way steep even in this market. Do people not realize these boats are all 20-25 years old. Tower removed. I wonder if the repair was done right.

From what you have posted it sounds like it will be nice, the downside is even in this market breaking even will be tough I bet.

I really don’t want to sell it, I put it together for our family to use.

I would keep it. Hard to put a price on fun, family time and memories made.

Yea, but I’m of moderate means… overall quality of life in my case requires a nice cash reserve and I dipped a bit deeper into ours than I had intended.

Probably I’ll keep it and spend a few years rebuilding our buffer.

Same boat here. This boat market over the last two years has proved difficult. Wishing I had not sold the clean one owner 210 I had.

Mine did 80MPH easy and that was before I rebuilt the carb, blower and prop.
 
I may have one for sale as well.
1990 super clean 240 carb 454 OB but we haven't decided yet.

I spoke with the owner of the 240 w/the 525 last fall. I thought we had a deal for me to buy for 60k. However, he wanted "one last trip" with her. I said ok. A month later he sends me a very short txt. "boat price now $70k, do you still care?". I had to pass. I was not sure whatever happened with the boat.

He still has it. 60k is way too much also.
